It came highly recommended by a local couple that I was talking to. Crossroads Custard is a quaint little place with only three tables inside and a few outside. The counter displays make anyone with a sweet tooth (me) water at the mouth. I enjoyed a red velvet home made waffle with chocolate mint ice cream topped with whipped cream. They even gave me a "pup cup" for my puppy, Cinnamon! It was topped with a dog biscuit. I found parking right outside, but the lot was pretty full. The service was Southern hospitality at it's best. All in all, I am glad it rained and I turned back from my initial destination.

If they have one of those little blueberry baked things with the blueberry chocolate icing on top, you will regret not getting one because they are rediculous in the best way. The parking lot was chock full of Porsche 911s today and I have no idea what event was happening but seeing that many high performance cars lined up in a tiny mountain town was pretty cool and honestly added to the whole vibe of the morning. The coffee was excellent, the wifi worked without any fuss, and we enjoyed our drinks and treat before heading further into the mountains feeling like we got our morning going just right. Five stars.

Everything about the restaurant was so special, amazing location for a sunset dinner, perched high above the Blue Ridge Mountains - amazing views. The best thing is if you stay at the Skyline Lodge, it's just steps away from your room and that comes in super handy when it's brunch time! We were fortunate enough to enjoy these two meals; dinner & brunch with our kids (who are foodies too) and they are now huge fans of Oak Steakhouse. They said it was the best steak they ever had, you can't go wrong with the Filet! The menu is not huge but really has all of the dishes you would want for an amazing dinner. Plenty of options, even if you don't eat steak. Amazing sides to accompany each dish and you must start with the bread, which is made in-house. I went with a dish I have not tried before and it did not disappoint, Venison Wellington while my wife tried the trout. I will let the photos do the talking. They also pour an amazing espresso martini by the way and to finish you have to try the chocolate cake, trust me! We also want to give a shot out to all of the staff and servers; their attention to detail and overall service was outstanding! Seems to be the case at all Indigo Road establishments, they really know hospitality. We cannot recommend Oak Steakhouse enough, even if you're not staying there but in the Highlands of NC make sure you give them a visit.

Our server was very friendly and (unprompted) comped our bread service after a lengthy delay. Once received, the bread was amazing and went nicely with my lettuce wedge salad. The entrees were excellent as well, with my wife loving her risotto and my steak frites being top notch with fork-tender beef and amazing truffle fries. The portions are generous so to-go bags are a common sight. Oak is not inexpensive, but clearly the value is there if you are looking for a proper steakhouse experience near Highlands.

Sugar Cloud has a very attractive store front and the interior matches that. I love all the things they have displayed in the store with coffee and candy and other stuff for sale. The display of cupcake and brownies were very tempting, but I was focused on the donuts. The best pricing would be to get half a dozen or a dozen (buy 5 get 1 free). We only ended up getting 3. The donuts are large in size and they make their own dough daily. First one we tried was the filled chocolate buttercream. It was truly FILLED with chocolate buttercream. Every single bite had chocolate buttercream. It was definitely fresh and delicious. The Samoa and maple bacon did not disappoint either. Although they were good, I felt the pricing was a bit steep and they weren't he best donuts I've ever had. But it was worth the stop and the calories!

Still thinking about it a week later. We also got the buffalo shrimp which was equally as delicious and super fresh. The peppercorn ranch that it came with was super good too. Others in our party got the pretzel bites and were very impressed with the pretzel and the queso and spicy mustard dipping sauces. There is a large space beside the brewery with fire pits and space to run and play for kids. There is a giant tv outside and lots of places to sit - both inside and outside. We were there the week after Christmas and though it was cold there were plenty of heaters/fire pits etc to keep warm near. Really great spot for all! We will definitely come back!
